I suspect she said we shouldn't talk about the old cases because she wanted to protect the other killers. [Alisaie touches her hand to her chin in thought.] I cannot know her exact reasons. But were I to guess, I would say Susato wanted to be caught and held accountable herself, but she was not willing to force the other killers to face the same.
At any rate, talking about Susato's death has little to do with the information I would share with you. Some of it you will likely already know, but allow me to repeat it anyway.
[She takes a moment to order her thoughts--this sort of explanation really is Alphinaud's thing... But here we go:]
The Lord Regent we fled is a being known as Metatron. He is supposedly acting on behalf of the Authority--God--and is the head of the Temporals. The Celestials are led by another being called Xaphania. I don't know how long the two of them have been fighting, but we may assume based on other information that it has been some time. The battle we're fighting is just another round in a cycle that has gone on many times. Both Metatron and Xaphania have destroyed realities in their wars.
As I said, the murders that are being committed may be thought of as "sacrifices." And we've all seen how at executions, the killed become Dust, yes? One of the notes discovered this past week stated that committing more "sins" causes one's soul to collect more Dust. Should this be true, the reason we're forced to try and find the murderers is to force us to kill them and grant the angels their higher level of Dust.
One side wins by killing all of those on the other team. When that happens, we believe the angels of the winning side will take the Dust generated by the sacrifices their team made and visit an Inquisition, which will eliminate all of those on a list having to do with the "enemy." This may have been what happened to Krankaz, which aligned itself with the Temporals, as well as to Otamo, which aligned itself with Xaphania. Both suffered Calamities, which Uriel said came about due to the Inquisition.
Needless to say, we cannot allow this to happen. Our own worlds are at stake should this happen. Roxis and Ulrika appear to be working on some sort of weapon, but I know naught about it so far. Whatever it is, they seem confident that they can use it to break this cycle once and for all.

[There's so much going on.]

[ But yeah that sure is a lot. Akira does listen to all of it but he doesn't have much to comment on as usual. ]
